260-SL-3 Motor Program. Volume 1. 260-SL-3 Motor Internal Insulation System
Abstract
Motor 260-SL-3 was insulated with Gen-Gard v-44 rubber. The design configuration was based on the V-44 rubber thickness-loss-rate data obtained during the 120-SS-1, 260-SL-1, and -2 motor static test firings. Previously fired and rehabilitated forward and aft insulation from motor case, S/N 001 (motor 260-SL-1), were used in motor 260-SL-3. Unusable cylindrical-section rubber and damaged forward- and aft-head insulation were removed from the case. New cylindrical-section insulation, propellant boot, and aft-boot extension components were fabricated by layup of unvulcanized V-44 (or V-45) on a mandrel and cure in an autoclave. Repair of existing insulation and installation of new insulation components were accomplished by Aerojet personnel at the Aerojet-Dade Division (A-DD), Homestead, Florida. Insulation of motor 260-SL-3 was completed on 9 January 1967.
